Best eye surgeon in New Jersey. I would trust Dr. Cohen with my life. A first class doctor who cares too much about his patients.

May 10, 2023I don’t typically write reviews, but this is one review that is very important to me given the successful and life changing surgery I received from Dr. Cohen. I was diagnosed with glaucoma at 35, I am now 63. I have been seeing the same ophthalmologist all these years but over time the glaucoma drops were not reducing the eye pressure to an acceptable level. I also developed cataracts that needed to be addressed. My ophthalmologist suggested I see Dr. Cohen. From the moment I stepped into Dr. Cohen’s office I felt comfortable with the very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Cohen explained all the options available and took all the time I needed to answer my many questions. Dr. Cohen advised to due a combined cataract surgery and eye stents surgery to reduce the pressure in both eyes. The result is excellent vision, and lower pressure. No more glasses, or contacts which is life changing for me! I can not say enough how happy I am with the surgery and its results. I would highly recommend Dr. Cohen. Thank you Dr. Cohen for my life changing results!

Being a professional artist I have always been careful of my eyes and hands. I was scared to death when I started to develop cataracts. I now see better than I did when younger. Dr. Cohen and his staff were wonderful through the whole process. Don't be afraid of the surgery if you need it. You're in good hands.

May 31, 2023I was pretty nervous when I saw Dr. Cohen for the first time and he told me I need to have cataracts removed in both eyes. And he would insert lenses to replace my coke bottle glasses. I had been struggling with my vision over the past few years. Working on a computer every day was getting harder and harder. I had my work arounds but I got tired of hearing myself say, “what does that say”, “I can’t see it”. Watching a movie with subtitles was exhausting. Dr. Cohen put my mind at ease right away and talked me through what he was going to do making sure I understood exactly what was about to happen. I am a living miracle! Before the reading eye chart was so sad but now I can read the eye chart from across the room. Down to pretty small print. Because I was so myopic I will still need readers for reading labels and tiny print up close. I can see my computer screens perfectly. Thanks to Dr. Cohen’s talent and skill I came through the procedures on both eyes with flying colors. No pain during the operation and minimal discomfort afterward. Don’t be afraid, you are in good hands. Shout out to the office team for their help and kindness!

August 7, 2022After reading about Dr. Cohen's history, I was immediately touched about the story of his grandmother losing her site to glaucoma and that he dedicated his life's work to helping others with this disease. I had several successful procedures and am happy to have found a talented doctor with an exceptional bedside manner. He immediately gave me the feeling that he cared and would do whatever necessary to preserve my sight. Although for me it is a quite a trip to get to his office, it is worth every mile. His staff also go out of their way to ensure you are comfortable and have all your questions answered. I feel blessed to have found Dr. Cohen and would recommend him to anyone.

FAQs
Are you looking to learn more about glaucoma or cataracts? Here are answers to some of the questions that patients frequently ask at the Glaucoma & Cataract Center of New Jersey. Content is provided for informational purposes only, and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Glaucoma
What is glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a condition where the nerve that sends images from the eye to the brain is damaged. It is usually caused by high eye pressure and can lead to vision loss. Glaucoma is sometimes referred to as the “silent thief” because it can gradually steal a person’s vision without pain or symptoms.
Fortunately, we can test for glaucoma in our Livingston, NJ office. With regular eye exams, early detection, and proper medical care, you can preserve your sight and prevent vision loss.
Cataracts
What is a cataract?
A cataract is the clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. Individuals with cataracts complain of blurred or decreased vision.
